where should I add this, in functions.php of a page in the child theme for woocommerce?

any idea if this would work on the cart page as well, if I just change checkout to cart?

This doesn't seems to work with postcode field.
$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['label'] = __'Some Label';

@cryptexvinci , this is not working for the postcode:-
$fields['shipping']['shipping_postcode']['label'] = __('Zipcode', 'woocommerce');

Those who can't get it done with the above code, Try this:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_address_fields' , 'checkout_custom_labels' );
function checkout_custom_labels( $address_fields ) {
     $address_fields['postcode']['label'] = 'Pin Code';
}

Following one works well with latest version:

function custom_override_default_address_fields( $address_fields ) {
$address_fields['address_1']['label'] = 'Address';
$address_fields['address_1']['placeholder'] = 'Address Line 1';
$address_fields['address_2']['placeholder'] = 'Address Line 2';

return $address_fields;

}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_default_address_fields' , 'custom_override_default_address_fields' );

// following zipcode code works with WooCommerce 3.4

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['placeholder'] = '21343';
$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['label'] = 'Posta Kodu ';
return $fields;
}

For those that are having issues in translate/change WooCommerce fields, just use gettext filter. Tested with the latest WooCommerce version.

function imde_text_strings( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    switch ( $translated_text ) {
        case 'Postcode' :
            $translated_text = __( 'Postcode (Required)', 'woocommerce' );
            break;
    }
    return $translated_text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'imde_text_strings', 20, 3 );

Works with WooCommerce 8.4.0

add_filter( 'woocommerce_checkout_fields' , 'custom_override_checkout_fields' );

// Our hooked in function - $fields is passed via the filter!
function custom_override_checkout_fields( $fields ) {
$fields['billing']['billing_postcode']['label'] = 'Postal Code ';
return $fields;
}
